Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume not only gives a clear account of the development of the Tamil nationalist movement in Sri Lanka but uses the account to explore the relationship between state power and national consciousness.
The comparative focus, incisive analysis and adroit blending of the theoretical and the practical illuminate the worldwide confrontation of state and nation, and movements for autonomy and self-determination. Bose provides a key to the study of modern nationalism, comparative politics and international relations around the world.
